(STATS) - FCS power North Dakota State will play seven home games in the 2018 regular season after announcing Monday it will host Cal Poly in a Sept. 1 opener.
It's the third time in school history the Bison have seven regular-season home games scheduled (also 1998 and 2000).
To set the Cal Poly game, North Dakota State shifted two other home matchups - Delaware from Sept. 1 to Sept. 22 and North Alabama from Sept. 22 to Sept. 15.
NDSU also announced its 2019 schedule. The Bison will not face Indiana State in 2018 and '19 due to the Missouri Valley Football Conference's schedule rotation.
